Gore Wins Nobel Prize, High Court Gives It to Bush

by Scott Ott

(2007-10-12) — Although former Vice President Al Gore won the Nobel Peace Prize this week for his work as a global-warming performance artist, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled early today that President George Bush would receive the gold medal, the diploma and the $750,000.

Mr. Bush, who was narrowly defeated by Mr. Gore in the 2000 presidential election, thanked Justices John Roberts and Samuel Alito “for swinging the vote my way, and helping me to join the pantheon of great Nobel laureates like Jimmy Carter and the late Yassir Arafat who together brought peace to the middle east.”

Mr. Gore could not be reached for comment as he was returning from Oslo, Norway, in a private jet. However, his spokesman said that his efforts to bring peace on earth speak for themselves.

“Thanks to Al Gore’s movies, speeches and books,” said the unnamed spokesman, “Terrorists and tyrants around the world will soon lay aside the weapons of war and give peace a chance by working together to develop a hybrid car that runs on cheap, clean-burning gunpowder.”

3 charged with letting 2-year-old smoke pot

Cell phone video among evidence in Falls case

By DAVID DOEGE

Posted: Oct. 10, 2007

Waukesha - A Menomonee Falls mother and two of her friends were charged Wednesday with sharing a marijuana cigarette with the woman's 2-year-old son, an episode they recorded on cell phone video clips, according to a criminal complaint.

The three agreed to keep the incident a secret and not show the video clips to anyone, according to the criminal complaint. But police received a tip and got a court order to seize the phone, which still held images of the boy's marijuana sampling experience when they viewed it, the complaint says.

One clip lasting two minutes and 15 seconds shows the boy wearing a motorcycle helmet and staggering around a bedroom "in what appears to be a confused and altered state," the complaint says.

"Hey, buddy," one of the mother's friends, Sean M. Held, says to the boy, according to the complaint. "Are you stoned?"

Laughter and other voices, including that of the mother, are then heard on the clip, according to the complaint.

Subsequent tests of a blood sample obtained from the boy did not indicate the presence of marijuana byproducts in the boy's system, making it difficult to prove a drug delivery charge against the three, according to Waukesha County District Attorney Brad Schimel.

"It was inconclusive," Schimel said. "So what we did was reach a reasonable compromise that will hold them accountable for their behavior."

The 20-year-old mother, whom the Journal Sentinel is not naming to protect the identity of her son, was charged with child neglect. She, Held, 19, and the other defendant, Dane Thomas Ashley, 20, all of Menomonee Falls, were also charged with contributing to the delinquency of a child and possession of marijuana.

The mother, who is quoted in the complaint as telling police she "would do anything to keep her son," still has custody of the boy and is being monitored by personnel from the county Department of Human Services, Schimel said.

"There will be ongoing supervision of her relationship with her son," Schimel said. "She is living with her mother, who had no knowledge of any of this nonsense and is a very responsible parent.

"She (the boy's mother) is being very cooperative and seems to have the right attitude about this."

The complaint says the incident occurred on the afternoon of Aug. 13, a date and time that was established by the three cell phone video clips viewed by police. It happened at Ashley's house, where the three gathered.

"The whole reason I went there was to smoke a blunt," the mother said of a marijuana cigarette fashioned from a hollowed-out cigar, according to the complaint.

After police obtained the cell phone from Held and viewed it, according to the complaint, they confronted the three and all admitted involvement in the incident.

"At one point, (the mother) offered (her son) the blunt, and Held saw the boy hold the blunt and put it up to his mouth," the complaint says Held told police. Held said that he was "shocked that (the boy) seemed to know how to hold the blunt."

The mother told police that Held came up with the idea to share the marijuana with her son and that he was the first to offer it to the boy after she agreed, the complaint says.

She also told police that Held first suggested making a video of the boy smoking the marijuana and that she initially balked at the idea out of concern that it would lead to trouble with the law, the complaint says.

"Held insisted that no one would see it and that what they were doing was funny," the complaint says.

Woman survives hanging

Staff reports
October 10, 2007

A Spokane man is accused of luring his wife into their garage to see a haunted house and then hanging her. Spokane Police arrested 38-year-old Sean Allen Jennings late Tuesday night after the woman, who escaped death, reported the incident.

The hanging happened Sunday night when Jennings asked his wife to come into the garage to see a surprise haunted house he had built for their two children. According to a press release on the incident, Jennings convinced his wife to put on a blindfold and then directed her up some steps on a ladder, handcuffed her and put a rope around her neck.

The couple were living together while going through a divorce.

The woman told police that she became scared and asked Jennings to release her, but instead he pushed her so she fell. She balanced on a toe for a while to keep from hanging. The victim said that as she begged for help her husband told her that hanging her was better than getting a divorce.

Tired, she slipped and began hanging from the rope, but her husband pulled her up just as she lost consciousness.

According to the police press release, Jennings then told his wife to put aloe vera on the rope burn around her neck and cover it with a neck brace to hide it.

After two days, she called police about 11 p.m. Tuesday from the Wal-Mart at 2301 W. Wellesley Ave. Police could see the rope burn on her neck and bruises on her wrists.

Officers arrested Jennings that night, charging him with domestic violence attempted first-degree murder. He denied trying to hang his wife.

Officers found the bandana used as a blindfold, handcuffs, rope and ladder in the garage, according to the release.

Pounding Surf Weakens Baby Sea Turtles


PONCE INLET, Fla. -- Beachgoers who plan to head to the coast on Monday are being advised to watch where they walk.
That's because they may come across some baby sea turtles in their travels.
The pounding surf that's been hitting the sand has swept hundreds of the endangered creatures ashore. Many of them got trapped in seaweed and would have died if it weren't for the rescue efforts of the Beach Patrol and other volunteers.

More than 1,200 turtles wound up at the Science Center in Ponce Inlet over the past week.
"Most of the turtles come in relatively healthy but exhausted from fighting the swells and the waves," Volusia County representative Michelle Coats said.
Officials hope to release the sea turtles back into the ocean when the waves calm down, and that should happen sometime this week.

Illegal Aliens should be given the same treatment!!!

Signs of the Apocalypse

(KSDK) - Parents call it a prank that went too far – a high school student ran for homecoming queen and won. The controversy: the queen is a male student.

Aaron Zaggy, a senior, ran for 2007 Homecoming Queen at University City High School and won. The idea, he said, came from a good friend.

"We just slapped up some posters and did it. And won," Zaggy said.

Zaggy thought it would end there. It didn’t.

"I didn't run but my best friend ran. And she was really mad, she was upset,” Jasmine Anderson, a senior, said.

Zaggy received permission from the University City School Board to run as Homecoming Queen. Voting was open to the entire high school, but only half the student body cast ballots. Zaggy beat the first runner up by nearly 20 votes.

One week after he was crowned, some parents are now sounding off. A crowd packed the room where the Board of Education met Thursday night.

"A queen is a female. A woman. A girl," one person said.

"I would really like to see a formal apology," another parent said.

Some of those speaking out said the issue raises concerns over the school’s handling of students’ sexual orientation. Zaggy, who has a girlfriend, said if anything; he should be classified as a jokester, and nothing else.

"Homecoming is about fun. So why not keep it for fun purposes?" he asked.

Aaron’s mother spoke out in defense of her son, saying she was ashamed and disappointed in those who condemned her son.

The University City School Board said it will review qualifications currently in place for homecoming and prom court.

Aaron Zaggy said if he had to do it all over again, he probably would have not run for Homecoming Queen. He said he didn’t intend on creating a controversy.

Kids in car during sex, drug bust
Schenectady police say woman prostituted herself, used cocaine with her children present

By PAUL NELSON, Staff writer

First published: Tuesday, October 2, 2007

SCHENECTADY -- In what one officer called one of the most despicable acts he can recall, a Saratoga County woman is accused of prostituting herself and then snorting cocaine from the stomach of her newborn son while breast-feeding him.

Police said Wendy Cook of Saratoga Springs was on a drug-fueled spree Monday when she was arrested during a crackdown on prostitution in the Hamilton Hill, Central State Street and Vale Cemetery areas.


Four other women were also arrested during the operation.

Cook, 37, was being held in Schenectady County Jail on charges of fourth-degree prostitution. She also faces child endangerment charges for allegedly performing oral sex on men during two separate encounters while her 8-week-old son and 5-year-old daughter were in the back seat of the car she was in.

The tot was napping during both incidents but the girl was awake, said police.

Both children are now staying with relatives.

"This ranks near the top of the all-time-despicable-crime list in Schenectady," said city police spokesman Brian Kilcullen, who has been on the force for 13 years.

A woman who Monday night answered a call placed to a Saratoga Springs number listed on the police report said Cook had stayed there for a time. She declined to comment further.

Police investigators said they learned that Cook had been out all night smoking crack and snorting cocaine -- with her children present.

According to the police report, Cook inhaled lines of powdered cocaine off the infant's stomach as she breast-fed him while riding around Schenectady.

Cook was nabbed at 7:13 a.m. Monday at Swan and State streets after she allegedly offered sex for money to an undercover Schenectady police officer working a prostitution sting. It was only then that detectives learned that Cook's two children were in a car a few blocks away on Catherine Street, according to the police report.

After her arrest, she allegedly told a friend she had been thinking about selling the two kids to get more money for drugs, according to the police report.

Cook, who is being held without bail at Schenectady County Jail, is due back in City Court today after being arraigned Monday. She declined a request for a jailhouse interview.

She is charged with five counts of endangering the welfare of a child, first-degree felony reckless endangerment and fourth-degree prostitution.

Also arrested for prostitution were city residents Florence Bowman, 39; Kattie Yutes, 28; Virginia Weldon, 41; and Catherine Pritchard, 44.

Tufts

LAS CRUCES -- A 30-year-old Las Cruces woman was in custody Wednesday, charged with having sexual contact with an 8-year-old boy, Las Cruces police reported.

Michelle A. Tufts, 30, of the 2800 block of east Idaho Avenue, was arrested Monday and is charged with two felony counts of criminal sexual penetration of a child younger than 13 and one count of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

Last week, the boy's grandmother notified police that Tufts might be having an inappropriate physical relationship with the boy, Las Cruces Police Department spokesman Dan Trujillo said. Police detectives investigated the reports and concluded the allegations were accurate, Trujillo said.

Tufts is being held at the Doña Ana County Detention Center, and her bond is set at $50,000.
